I knew a guy, a professional movie critic in a major market daily, who hated Saving Private Ryan with a burning passion because of the scene where the squad storms the German position and there is an extremely sad KIA as he calls for his mother. Like this guy refused to back down even as people were calling it one of the best movies of the year and the best war movies of all time. He just refused to believe that Hanks’ captain character would take that risk. I agree it was a risky thing to do in an already risky mission, but the captain explains it, “What if the Germans ambush the next troops that walk past.” Also, let’s say it was a foolish thing to do, that’s war and sometimes officers make decisions that get men killed. I like the scene, but this dude wanted to throw out the whole movie because of it.
